Cleveland Browns offensive lineman Ryan Miller was immobilized and taken to a Cleveland hospital after he suffered a concussion midway through a training camp practice Saturday afternoon.

The team later said Miller was released from the hospital Saturday evening.

Miller, a second-year player, is awake and has movement in his arms and legs, team spokesman Zak Gilbert told USA TODAY Sports via text message.

"He was awake, alert and responsive," Gilbert wrote.

Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said he wasn't sure exactly what happened when Miller sustained the injury.

"It was one-on-one blocking drills. I did not see it," Chudzinski said. "Obviously, two guys were going against each other and hit against each other."

Reporters at the practice wrote on Twitter that Miller was down for more than five minutes before he was placed on a backboard. Reporters were asked not to publicize Miller's identity until the team could notify his family about the injury situation.

Miller was a sixth-round draft pick out of the University of Colorado in 2012. He appeared in eight games as a rookie and is competing for a backup job on the 2013 team.
